2023 AMTE Winners of the NTLI Fellowship

Congratulations to Kate Roscioli, Theresa Wills, and Jennifer Suh, AMTE winners of the 2023 NTLI Fellowship for their manuscript Implementing an Equity-centered Technology Framework with Mathematics Specialist Candidate Created STEM Tasks

Kate Roscioli is a fourth-year doctoral student pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education, Teacher Education, and Technology at George Mason University. She is also a Title I Mathematics Specialist in Northern Virginia, working with teachers and students in grades 3 through 5. At George Mason, she serves as a graduate research assistant on an EQSTEMM, an NSF-funded grant with Dr. Jennifer Suh. She earned an M.Ed. in Elementary Education from Marymount University and an M.Ed. in Mathematics Leadership from George Mason University. Her research interests include preparing teachers to integrate technology in mathematics classrooms to promote equitable mathematics practices. Her future goals as a researcher and mathematics teacher educator are to develop frameworks and systems that support pre-service and in-service educators in evaluating technology tools for mathematics instruction. 

Theresa Wills, PhD, is the author of Teaching Math at a Distance, K-12: A Practical Guide to Rich Remote Instruction.  Theresa is an assistant professor of mathematics education at George Mason University, working with in-service mathematics specialists and pre-service elementary and secondary teachers.  Theresa has taught synchronous online classes and webinars since 2010 and researchers teaching practices that are adaptable to the online environment.  As a former classroom teacher and math coach, Theresa still volunteers regularly in K-12 classrooms.

Jennifer Suh is a mathematics educator in the School of Education at George Mason University. Dr. Suh teaches mathematics methods courses in the Elementary Education Program and mathematics leadership courses for the Mathematics Specialist Program.  She directs the Center for Outreach in Mathematics Professional Learning and Educational Technology, COMPLETE and provides professional development focused on learning trajectory based instruction, equity focused teaching practices and effective integration of technology in the mathematics classrooms. Dr. Suh conducts Lesson Study with teachers to develop high leverage mathematics teaching practices and deepen teachers’ content knowledge using learning trajectories. Currently, her project called EQSTEMM, Advancing Equity and Strengthening Teaching with Elementary Mathematical Modeling, focuses on promoting equitable participation of all students engaging in rigorous mathematics through modeling.  She enjoys co-designing authentic community based problem-based modeling tasks with teachers to promote equitable access to 21st century skills in STEM disciplines for diverse student populations.
